MDM (Mobile Device Management) and Enhanced Web Filtering Service

Easily manage your devices across your school

The challenge

Mobile devices are increasingly the norm in schools. They give students access to anytime anywhere learning opportunities using a tool that keeps them engaged. Along with the benefits come some management challenges, to support teaching and learning and ensure the devices are used safely and appropriately.

The management, security and maintenance of mobile devices needs to be as easy as possible. Our service ensures that the devices are supporting learning goals and that both students and educators have the access and applications required for lessons and assignments.

The solution

Designed just for schools, the MDM solution makes it easy to manage devices distributed throughout your school and to maximise their educational benefits. Unique education-specific tools and policies ensure that managing mobile devices can be as simple as using them.
